In the words of the National Trust... "[Lacock is a] charming rural village untouched
by modern development. Lacock Village, dating back to the 13th-century, remains largely unchanged over the centuries and has many limewashed, half-timbered
and stone houses. During the Middle Ages Lacock became a prosperous and
thriving town through its wool industry. The village was well placed for communications, sited as it was on the 'cloth road' from London and the River Avon, which gave access to the sea at Avonmouth near Bristol."

You can visit Lacock Abbey, founded in 1232 and converted into a country house c.1540, the Abbey hosts events throughout the year: log on to the National Trust to find out more. You can also discover all about the history of photography at the Fox Talbot Museum. There are several pubs, a church, and shops.
